What we're missing in New Zealand is resourcing for investigative reporting and heavily researched feature writing.
ah, i get it now.
i had thought that part of the objective was to see the publication of this great writing. to prevent these stories from being ignored by the infotainment msm that is.
especially after keith had so much trouble getting his sri lankan stories out last year.

But would it? Be content, I mean?
that's the issue. i'd want to think carefully about what i was to research and put up.
which wouldn't make me a 'core' writer...

Crikey comes out daily and would run to ten pages easily - if printed)
i used to read crikey in the early days and it was... sparse.
they got a couple of huge shout-outs from the msm and then they were off.
pretty sure this idea would track the same, imho.

talented online writers such as Stephen Judd, Idiot Savant, Don Christie, Paul Litterick, Robyn Gallagher, Craig Ranapia, Kracklite, Bart Janssen, Steven Price...
<sighs and pretends he got to be in the club too>

guess the usual bumph about ravening she-bears and prescriptions against lying with thy neighbour's ox must feature large in there somewhere.
sounds like the typical johnny-come-lately ideology. they're always more lunatic than the original strain.

the council is next to useless then what point even having a council?
dexterbot, the council administers the city of auckland, which is it's actual job.
moral outrage and sanctimony are the responsibility of someone else.
although i'm sure you'd qualify

certainly come across some folks who are sharks on line and absolute pussy cats in person. Funny that.
i think they also get a rush from seeing their non de plume in 'print', hence the frequency of posting.
but a troll is a troll, and an argument is an argument.
